But in a way, it is, when you are trying to make a point against someone or something, if you don't properly back that point up then you don't have any substance to your argument. Now you can take a quote from someone, but if you don't specifically say WHO that someone is, then it's pretty pointless, likewise if you don't take that quote in its context then, again, it undermines the point you're trying to make. I mean, I can take a quote from you, put it out of context and try and argue that you have the same viewpoint as Skybird, when in fact, the quote is from you stating what you believe to be Skybirds viewpoint.
Again, it undermines your point when you take apart other peoples links in detail and yet refuse to cite your own. It makes you look hypocritical.
